Graduate Certificates
The certificate program enables students to broaden and deepen their knowledge in the area of construction management, structural engineering, and water resources by learning the most up-to-date theory and techniques used in practice.
The certificate program offers an opportunity for practicing engineers to enhance their skills without necessarily completing a Master’s degree. The program consists of four courses (12 credit-hours).
